The latest rankings from the CIES Football Observatory has revealed who commands the highest price tags in the game of football transfer market which is essentially driven by value.
As expected, Lamine Yamal, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe lead the list, while Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers emerges as a surprise fifth with a valuation of £117 million. Liverpool stars Florian Wirtz, Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike also feature prominently.
The biggest talking point, however, is the absence of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. Despite breaking the Premier League assist record and helping United return to the Champions League, the Portuguese playmaker failed to make the list of the world’s 67 most valuable players.
